TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Blind skateboard sets world record, paving the way for others
This is an incredibly inspiring story. A blind skateboarder from Michigan named Daniel Mancina recently broke a world record for longest “50-50 grind” on a skateboard. He slide 20 feet, 5 inches on his board down the rail.
Now you might be wondering how does he safely skateboard when he cannot see? Good question, he actually uses a cane before he sets out to conquer whatever area he’s skating on. That way he can plan out where the obstacles are and figure out which way he’s going to go. Take from someone who skateboarded all through high school it’s already hard enough when you CAN SEE, I can’t even imagine doing it blind. So major congrats to Daniel for figuring this out.
And now he’s even helping other blind skaters by building adaptive skate parks for visually impaired kids who want to take up skateboarding. He’s going ot host workshops, lessons, and hope to get skateboarding into the 2028 Paralympics.
Amazing

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why do bats hang upside down?
It’s that time of year where you start seeing spooky decorations everywhere including bats! Very popular Halloween item. But why do bats hang upside down?
One popular theory on the internet is that since bats do not have legs they would never be able to produce enough energy to get off the ground and fly like a bird would. So hanging upside down gives them an advantage to just drop down and start flapping their wings to fly. No ground needed!
Very smart, those bats.
